Thank you for the fun!

An incredible weekend of
science fiction overload!

Anne Francis

    From the moment Anne Francis accepted our offer to attend Starfest, she was a delight. When KWGN asked to have her to appear on their April 14 morning show, it was with some trepidation that I called her - knowing full well that it would mean she'd have to rise very early for the live broadcast. Anne didn't hesitate, she graciously accepted the invitation and along with Kevin Atkins, appeared for the segment. After the interview, I saw the entire cast and crew of the morning show flock around Anne for autographs. 
    My favorite Anne Francis story occurred after the show. It took place without her there, in the deserted Main Events Room. Joe, one of the largest and gruff-looking members of our security staff, came up to me beaming from ear to ear, he excitedly told me that meeting Anne Francis had fulfilled one of his life-long dreams. Too often such boyhood dreams fade - or worse - reality seldom meets childhood expectations. But for Joe, meeting Anne was everything he'd hoped it would be and more. Thank you Anne.
